Sumo Paint
Jun 15th
Sumopaint (MSpaint on drugs) is a wonderful online PhotoEditing/paint application. It uses Flash player 10 to display on the browser window. Unlike Adobe Photoshop it is free to use and needs no installation (is an online app). It can do almost everything Photoshop can do. Functions ranging from filters, levels, temperature, tone adjustments, transform, layers and selections are supported. The symmetry tool with the gravity feature tuned on makes great modern art.
The gravity and symmetry tool turned on makes great art.
Twitpocalypse floater
Jun 14th
One internet floater that made everyone wondered how the Twitterverse will change when the number of Tweets on Twitter approach the 2,147,483,647 limit. Twitpocalypse did occur on 2009-06-12 23:52:04 GMT. The Twitterverse is still on high rev, nothing ‘malfunctioned’ superficially. But Twitterrific 2.0.1 for the iPhone did experience some problems due to the Twitpocalypse. Applications like Destroy Twitter were creating tweets with negative IDs. The iPhone App Tweetie experienced problems. Other applications like Beak and TweetDeck were effected to some extent.
Wakoopa
Jun 6th
If LastFM is for music, Wakoopa is for softwares. A small tracker can be downloaded at the website which monitors the softwares you use on your computer. Very detailed statistics are recorded about your daily software usage and you can visually see it in the form of a pie chart. Like LastFM suggests similar music this website can suggest you similar softwares.
I find this website fun. The most fun part is working to increase your reputation in the website. To estimate your reputation, you are given ‘levels’. Levels page is really worth checking out.
Pwn youtube
Jun 1st
If you think copy pasting the URL is tedious. One good way to Download Youtube videos is this:
Once you add “pwn” and hit enter, you get redirected to www.deturl.com
The page you are redirected gives you an option to download the video in an ipod friendly high quality mp4 or the same old flv format. Good for you if you don’t often download videos, just happen to like this one and want to have it on HDD.
Well, if you use firefox and care to invest time to install the plugin because you think it may help in the ‘long run’. Use the Download Helper is a good option for you.
Wolfram|Alpha
May 17th
WolframAlpha is the new computational knowledge search engine released two days from now ie 15 May 2009 for the general public. It is not a search engine and is of a completely different genere. Its funny when people talk about a Google-killer and WolframAlpha comes into the talk. In simple terms it is not used to search the web instead it uses its own internal data for computation of the queries.
